Rachel Heller’sPastels and Other Works opened on August 12th at 6 pm with guest speaker Nicholas Fox Weber, author and director of The Josef and Anni Albers Foundation.

Returning to Doswell after a very well received debut at the gallery in 2007, this show boasts Rachel’s ever growing dedication and development regarding her practice and subject matter. Rachel’s works are an infusion of colour and mark making which exude honesty and intention. Moving between the figure and the landscape Rachel conjures intimate scenes and atmospheres from observation and memory. Situating her practice between the UK and West Cork her works evoke the dynamic relationships that she forges between herself and her environment. Pastels and Other Works brings the viewer into close proximity with the places and the people that render a sense of closeness and understanding in Rachel’s work.
